About Oliver
Oliver Tatchell helps people who are feeling overwhelmed, anxious, low in mood, or struggling with life changes. He presents a calm, open manner and aims to make first steps feel manageable for someone worried about reaching out. He offers straightforward support for stress, anxiety, depression, grief and loss, and issues that affect self-esteem and motivation.
He also works with concerns such as addictions, relationship and intimacy difficulties, eating and sleeping problems, and challenges linked to parenting and career stress.
Background and approach
Oliver uses an approach that centres the client. That means conversations focus on what matters to the person, and on their own goals and values. He also draws on cognitive behavioural techniques to spot unhelpful thinking patterns, and on mindfulness to help people manage overwhelming emotions in the moment.
Sessions are practical and conversational. People can expect to talk through recent events, notice patterns that keep problems going, and try small experiments between meetings. When trauma or past harm is present he adapts the pace and work to what feels safe and useful for each person.
He is based in the United Kingdom and holds BACP and NCPS credentials. Oliver has four years of professional experience and conducts sessions in English. The initial step is a short matching questionnaire and then arranging sessions that fit the client's schedule.

Approaches Oliver lists
Listing an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each counsellor names and does not check training records.
Online support
Choosing the right approach is a shared process. The counsellor will talk with the person about their needs, goals and preferences and then agree on how to proceed. That might mean combining listening-focused work with CBT tools or adding mindfulness practices to help with emotional regulation.
Online therapy offers several practical benefits. Video calls let people meet face to face when meeting in person is difficult. Phone sessions are useful when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text-based messaging provide shorter, more frequent check-ins and can fit around busy days or work breaks. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent and to fit sessions into everyday life.
